Default bank site & enabling java

Thanks Daave & I have subsequently did that & it is checked Enabled & has
been, so that's why I am curious(& frustrated) about it as I had not been in
there to change anything. I am still awaiting to hear back from the credit
union IT people.

thanks again

You opened the wrong tab. Instead, drill down this way:

Tools | Internet Options | Security | Custom Level | Scripting | Active
Scripting

Which choice is selected? Enable, Disable, or Prompt?

Also, you should clear your browser cache and close IE7 and open it again.

thanks again twayne, but I have done that, it was already checked as

now what about this: above the scripting option, in custom level,
under Misc. are these 2 things, both of which are checked as disabled:
Allow scripting of IE browser control
&
Allow script initiated windows without size or position constraints

thanks & i have an email to the credit union to have them take a look


I've never noticed those and thus haven't even looked at them, so no help
there. It sounds like a possibility though and worth trying. If it's not
a fix, set them back until you can learn more about them.
Watch out that you aren't enabling something for untrusted sites or
anything like that. On a quick scan, all I find similar to what you
mentioned is for untrusted sites, NOT something you want to allow scripts
on if you don't have to.

It's a long shot but have you previously done what this page talks about?

That could be one of the problems; dropmyrights.msi.

Sorry,

Twayne

As already mentioned, Java and Javascript are two different things.
Here are some links that should help you out:

http://answers.suntrust.com/doc/snbb...revPageIndex=2

http://www.tucows.com/article/1690
This one includes several different browsers besides IE.

HTH,

thanks Richard, but am using ie7; is there this option to check

Compatibility View mode in IE8 has it render the web page in "quirks
mode" which means it uses the rendering engine of IE7. Since you are
using IE7, you are already using IE8's Compatibility View mode.

If your bank site is getting rendered under the Restricted Sites
security zone then its domain was added to that security zone. That
also means that few features of HTML are allowed in rendering the web
page. The whole point of the Restricted Sites security zone is to
neuter a web page to eliminate advanced features, which includes
scripting.

You don't want a site listed in the Restricted Sites security zone
unless you are specifically attempting to neuter that site which removes
a lot of functionality from web pages.

When you visit the bank site, what security zone is shown in the status
bar of IE?

I just went to that web page. No error message about Javascript. I
clicked on the Login button. Got an error because I didn't enter any
login credentials. I just wanted to check if their Javascript worked on
that page. It did. So it must be the next web page that reports a
Javascript problem; however, I don't have an account there so I cannot
login to get to the next web page.

You could try adding their domain to the Trusted Sites security zone.
If that doesn't work, you'll have to contact them to report that IE8
cannot use their web site. They may be incorrectly detecting the web
browser connecting to them and screwing up on that detection. For
example, they may look for a range of UA (user agent) strings that web
browsers report to identify themselves but the UA string for IE8 is not
in their list.

You have, of course, asked the bank if it's OK to use that rev, right?
I remember when IE6 came out; one of my banks wouldn't allow it for
quite some time after it was released. It's easy to tell what browser
is being used, so they apparently checked the browsers and versions when
you logged in. That particular bank even today will only allow IE for
accessing accounts. None of my other financial places seem to care
though.

A long shot I suppose, but worth asking to make certain.
